In the village of Hampshire, recycling and other waste management efforts are backed up by a comprehensive solid waste program for residents. Collection days have been scheduled every Thursday so that homeowners can have their refuse and recyclables picked up right from their home's curb. Guidelines have also been made available on how to sort and prepare recyclables for pick up. The Kane County village's recycling efforts, however, has its limits.

For example:

• Electronics recycling is not supported by the residential recycling program
• The curbside collection service can only accept up to one (1) bulk item per week that may be too large to fit in an approved toter
• Construction and renovation debris will not be accepted during regular collection days; special pick up is required

Considering this, it may help to find an alternative to the local government's recycling initiative. In fact, there are other Hampshire recycling center options that not only accept everything from a small bag of scrap metal, paper, and plastic waste to huge loads of construction debris, electronics, and appliances, but also make sure you profit from your eco-friendly efforts.

Here at Elgin Recycling & Scrap Metal, we provide Hampshire with recycling services for homeowners, businesses, and contractors. We accept scrap metals such as aluminum, brass, copper, and stainless steel; End of Life electronics such as computers, batteries, and cell phones; paper; and plastic.

With regard to electronics recycling in Hampshire, our recycling service properly handles these electronic wastes to prevent chemical leaks and other hazardous instances that result from the mismanagement of electronic items. We are also R2-certified, which shows that we have the means of making sure all data is also eliminated before data drives and other digital storage devices are recycled.

To make the recycling process more convenient, we provide options on how you can give us your recyclables. You can drop by and drop off your recyclables at any of our two recycling centers located in Gilberts. We have one at East End Drive and another at Center Drive.
